I'm envious of those of you who are already off for the holidays (L included). Today's done, and I have one more day still to go.
- Leather jacket - Danier Couture, consignment; last seen here in October with twirly brick
- Blouse - H&M, thrifted; last worn here in October with a bookish skirt
- Skirt - Club Monaco, consignment; last seen here in December 2018 with black and sparkles
- Shoes - Half Truth Veda, Fluevog; last worn here (3rd outfit) for a rainy spooky walk in November
- Leather trenchcoat (below) - no label, vintage 70s, thrifted; last seen here earlier this month
Our office was pretty dead - only about 40 people were in, out of 250.
My boss put a bottle of Bailey's in the kitchen (it's a creamy liqueur), which is nice.
I'll post tomorrow's outfit and then I'll take a wee break. I tend to post every 3-4 days during this holiday stretch. I'll be around.
Outerwear - it was raining when I left the house, so I also grabbed my cream fedora.
- Hat (not shown) - Edward Mann, vintage 60s, thrifted
- Scarf - thrifted
- Gloves - Parkhurst
The stuff:
Simple bling:
- Eelskin bracelet - faux Gucci, Italy, gift from Mom & Dad, c. 1986
- Bronze ring - P. Sarpaneva, vintage 70s, vintage expo
- Spinner ring - Twang & Pearl
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Earrings - Reiss, vintage 60s, vintage fair
Be merry!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas break, Sheila!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cynthia! A very Merry Christmas to you!
DeleteHi Sheila, I hope you and L have a Christmas break that is everything you want it to be. I hope the weather is kind and your presents delight you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, dear Mica! Right back at you - Merry Christmas to you and your family and Cooper! See you on the other side.
DeleteHi Sheila, Thanks for sharing your wonderful outfits with us - yours is my favourite blog so thank you for all your effort. Wishing you all the best over Christmas. Lise
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much, Lise! That means a lot to me. Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much for reading and commenting. I hugely appreciate it!
DeleteHave a fantastic Xmas break, Sheila, L and Vizzini! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vix, you as well. Happy Xmas!
DeleteI'm swooning over your outfit: the skirt and blouse together are an instant pick-me-up! Hurray it getting lighter, although it will take a while until there's a noticeable difference. Hope you last day went well. How lovely that your boss allows you to leave at noon! My last day was a quiet one as well, which was good, as I'd already started de-stressing in the weekend. Have a most wonderful Christmas break, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ann! Yes, nothing like extra-shiny clothes to make one feel merry. I know it'll take a while for lighter mornings to be noticeable, but I know it's coming. Yes, great boss, although he hasn't done this in past years!
DeleteHave a very Merry Christmas, my dear friend.
Such a cute outfit! Merry Christmas, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweetheart!
Deleteamazing skirt and blouse combo. you look fantastic! merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ivana, Merry Christmas to you!
DeleteWe were very lucky this year; the university closed on Friday, December 20th until January 2nd, so it has been a nice long break (I've been sick for half of it, but oh well...).
ReplyDeleteI'm envious, but at least I didn't get sick!
DeleteThose shiny paisleys are ace! A perfect bit of festive glitter.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mim!
DeleteLoving this shiny paisley skirt and the yellow-golden top, you look really adorable!
ReplyDeletebesos
Aw, thank you, Monica!
DeleteDecember was so irregular for me that the holidays almost went by unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is a true statement piece - you cannot miss it - its lovely.
You did have an irregular schedule - I hope it's settled down a bit now. Thank you, Lorena!
DeleteThe paisley skirt is exquisite, styling on point as ever. I do hope you enjoyed taking some time away from posting x
ReplyDeleteThank you - it was a nice break!
